This is one of the finest books I have ever read on the subject of Heaven. Joni Eareckson Tada's insights are very deep and as real as one can be about somewhere few if any of us alive have seen. It is challenging and filled with hope as well. I cannot recommend it enough!

This is a beautiful, insightful book. I would go so far as to say that it is destined to become one of the great Christian classics. Joni is clearly a poet, an artist, an articulate teacher, and an ardent follower of Jesus Christ. This book turned my despair into hope and helped turn me from a fence-sitter into a believer.
